The wash bucket has an engraved depression shaped to hold the flat four-lobed bearing. Place the new bearing into this depression. Insert the new impeller into the wash bucket. Align the impeller’s screw hole with the corresponding screw hole in the wash bucket. The impeller should sit flat against the bottom of the wash bucket.

Step 4: Reinstall the impeller screw

Place the washer onto the impeller’s screw hole. Thread the screw into the Form Wash impeller’s screw hole. Using a 2 mm hex driver, tighten the screw until finger tight. Take care to not overtighten or strip the plastic threads in the wash bucket.

Step 5: Check impeller spin

Spin the impeller by hand. It should spin freely. If it does not, loosen the screw half a turn and check again. Repeat as needed.

Step 6: Mount the impeller cap

Align the posts on the impeller cap with the grooves of the impeller. Gently press the impeller cap into place.
